Chemistry of Pyrolysis and Kinetic Studies of Shea Nut (Vitellaria paradoxa) Shells Activated Carbon for Textile Waste Water Treatment

Phosphoric acid (H3PO4) and Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) catalyzed shea nut shells, subjected to a one way activation scheme was employed to study the adsorption kinetics and mode of diffusion of industrial dye uptake. Thermodynamics data obtained in this study indicate that the sorption of dye spontaneously increases with time and decreases after equilibration was...

Acid Dyes Removal from textile wastewater using waste cotton activated carbon: Kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic studies

The present study aims at investigating the potential of activated carbon AC prepared from waste cotton fiber for the removal of Acid Dyes from aqueous solutions. The prepared activated carbon was characterized by pore structure analysis, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy FTIR. Batch adsorption studies were carried out and the effect of experimental parameters such as pH, initial dye con...

Growth performance of broiler chickens fed diets containing shea nut (Vitellaria paradoxa, Gaertn.) meal fermented with Aspergillus niger.

Shea nut meal is a by-product of the shea fat industry in West Africa. The objective was to determine the effect of shea nut meal fermentation using Aspergillus niger on growth performance of broiler chickens. An expeller shea nut meal was fermented in a closed plastic container for 8 d after the addition of 0.25 g of A. niger spores per kg of shea nut meal in 2 parts of water. Each of the 2 sh...

NUTRITIONAL COMPOSITION OF SHEA NUT (Vitellaria paradoxa, Gaertn) BY-PRODUCTS AND THEIR DIGESTIBILITY BY NILE TILAPIA (Oreochromis niloticus L.) JUVENILE

This study was conducted to determine the nutritional (proximate and energy) composition of selected shea nut by-products (SNPs) namely; shea nut meal (SNM, solvent extracted), shea nut cake (SNC, mechanically extracted) and shea nut cake (SNCW, water extracted) and their apparent digestibility coefficient (ADC) by Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. The ADC was determined using a reference di...
